Joan Smith (born 1916 in Sydney) is a respected Australian printmaker known for her evocative etchings, lithographs, screenprints, and woodcuts. Raised in a creative household—her father was renowned photographer Harold Cazneaux and her sister, artist Carmen Field—Smith developed a strong visual sensibility from an early age. Her works often explore natural and intimate themes with technical precision and emotional depth.
Throughout her long career, Smith’s prints have been exhibited and sold across Australia and New Zealand, with consistent interest from collectors since the mid-20th century. Her distinctive style, rooted in observation and subtle storytelling, earned her recognition within Australia’s printmaking community, despite limited public documentation of her life and career.
Smith’s legacy endures through her finely crafted prints, which continue to attract attention at auctions and within private collections. Though understated in profile, her contributions reflect the quiet strength of Australian women artists in the 20th century, and her work remains a testament to the enduring power of traditional printmaking techniques.
